Listening Party

I have no idea who Tim Burgess is, but apparently he's a big enough deal that throughout Covid he's been listing albums, then tagging the artist on Twitter and sitting back while the artist then Tweets about the album. Some are more effusive than others (Liam Gallagher barely burped on one of the Oasis ones I looked into), but some are fantastic and thorough, like David Lowery's run through Camper Van Beethoven's classic Telephone Free Landslide Victory (a personal super-duper slice.)

Again, I have no idea who this is or how it happened, but what a brilliant idea, and one of what I'm sure are many great things to come out of the pandemic year.
